Most of the online cigar vendors are owned by the same company, Thompson Cigar. If you look at the web sites, they're all very much the same with little to distinguish them in design. These various vendors are differentiated by different products, however, with some at the lower end in both products and price, and some at much higher level. These include JR's Cigars, Cigars International, Cigars Direct, Pipes and Cigars, and cigars.com.

As a heavy smoker, I always buy from Thompson Cigar because the have decent prices for their bundles of 40 or more. They also use IDMe, a verification system that qualifies people for discounts for military service or being EMTs/police/firefighters etc. and the like.

I've previously purchased from several of these other vendors and I wasn't able to find the same kind of consistent quality and low price. Keep in mind, however, that Thompson Cigar's customer service is terrible, almost non-existent. Also, you can't get through using a VPN, so you have to shut it off before you can connect.

My grandfather got me into cigars. He was a widower for 18 years after my grandmother passed. It was a weekly thing in the later years that I would go do his grocery shopping, then clean his house, then we'd sit in his garage and smoke a cigar and watch Bonanza while we caught up on life. I was with him when he had the stroke that killed him.

I don't still watch Bonanza, but I will enjoy a cigar from time to time. I always think about him when I do. It's almost like visiting my ancestors.

The cigar is healthier for you than reading the news

Certain native brands are as pure as you'll find. DisCounts come to mind.
